iPhone Buzz first covered the Juice Pack for the iPhone way back in early December, and we have been waiting patiently for its arrival. Nearly six months later, I’m thrilled to report that it is finally here. Was the wait worth it? Heck yes! The package arrived directly from mophie earlier today, so I haven’t had adequate moment to thoroughly put the Juice Pack through a rigorous tryout yet. Fear not, I’m traveling the next few days so I’ll have plenty of day to tryout it out. You can expect a full review Monday AM.

Microsoft’s latest patent involves a Wearable Mouse concept that runs on gyroscopic technology, doing away with the need to move your hand from your keyboard to the mouse constantly. Coincidentally, that is pretty much the same technology that is found inside the Wiimote, but it remains to be seen how much longer it will take to get that concept up and running. The mouse will activate when you form a fist, while both left and right buttons will be activated by your thumb. I wonder how sensitive that mouse will be should it be realized - will it be good decent for desktop publishing?

New mouse has a secret boss button.

The notion behind the ergonomics is that that shape is deemed by WOW to use a more natural hand stance. While that might be true for a LEGO character, I’m not convinced that that is valid for humans. Again, I should reserve my final judgment until I can try it – I’m just thinking out loud here.

I suppose whether you love the Necromancer class in World of Warcraft, chances are that Skeleton Mouse is right up your alley. Designed to look like a decomposed corpse complete with whitewashed bones, the Skeleton Mouse is definitely eerie looking, and it certain as heck doesn’t look too comfortable at all. I can’t seem to find the scroll button on that thing - hopefully it is not part of the bony spine that curves all the way down from one end to the other.
